BFI have announced the acquisition of Shiro’s Story into the BFI National Archive!
Work created digitally for online viewing is potentially some of the most vulnerable. The BFI National Archive’s role is to ensure that it is still safe and can be made accessible, not just for the next decade or so, but 200 years in the future. By actively bringing digitally created contemporary work like Shiro’s Story into the archive from different platforms, this significant acquisition also reflects the fast changing pace of new and emerging filmmaking in our multi-channel age and recognizes the incredible reach and audience impact achieved by the films.
As #BlueStoryMovie opens in UK cinemas, delighted that Rapman's 3-part YouTube hit, SHIRO'S STORY, has been acquired by @BFI National Archive where it will be preserved for generations to come https://t.co/zSoCvH5t8A pic.twitter.com/Qt3m43VRu8
